There is no doubt that this is quite a remarkable and beautiful looking car. Naturally, there have been quite a number of pics. on TK previously (as well !), and the owner has carried out a wonderful restoration, as well as modifications - not to forget.

However, when looking at this picture - what is quite remarkable ? Just looki at the throng of people looking at the car. Regards Styria

I've seen it here before and on FB. Really beautiful and yes the factory should've made something similar. Great news it's on the road and driving around. I'd be interested to see what was done under the car to compensate for the loss of the roof since the roof structure is amazingly strong on a w116

I would imagine bracing and that would probably be hidden where rear doors have been welded .
